FreeAmp Notes for Linux users 
-----------------------------

To use the ALSA Sound System:
=============================

To use the ALSA output plugin, shutdown freeamp if it is currently 
running and then edit the .freeamp_prefs file in your home directory. To use 
FreeAmp with the ALSA 1:1 device (which leaves the default device open 
other uses) the PMO and ALSADevice lines to look like this:

  PMO: alsa.pmo
  ALSADevice: 1:1

If you installed ALSA after you installed FreeAmp, there is a good chance
that you do not have ALSA support for FreeAmp installed. Reinstall
freeamp after you have ALSA properly configured.


To use the EsounD Sound System:
===============================

To use the EsounD output plugin, read/follow the instructions above and
change the following lines to look like these:

  PMO: esound.pmo
  EsounDHost: localhost 

If you don't have an EsoundD server running locally, change the EsounDHost
setting to the name of your EsounD server.
